Table Structures and Columns (Maintenance Log Sheet)
The Maintenance Log sheet serves as the core data source with a structured table that includes:| Column Name | Data Type / Format | Description / Requirements |

| Maintenance ID (Auto) | Text (Auto-incremented) | Unique identifier for each maintenance entry. Formatted as "MNT-YYYY-XXXX" using a formula. |
| Date Reported | Date | When the issue was first logged or detected. |
| Asset ID | List (Drop-down from Asset Register) | Links to the Asset Register sheet for consistency. Data validation ensures only valid assets are selected. |
| Asset Type | Text (Auto-filled via VLOOKUP) | Pulled automatically from Asset Register based on Asset ID. |
| Maintenance Type | List: Preventive, Corrective, Emergency, Routine | Dropdown selection to classify the nature of maintenance. |
| Description | Text (Multiline) | Detailed description of the issue or task performed. |
| Technician Name | List: Technician Pool (from Asset Register) | Dropdown with names from a predefined technician list. |
| Date Performed | Date | Date when the maintenance was actually completed. |
| Duration (Hours) | Number (with 1 decimal place) | Time spent on the task, used for labor cost calculations. |
| Cost (£ or $) | Currency | Total cost of parts and labor. |
| Status | List: Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, Overdue | Track current progress. Conditional formatting highlights overdue items. |
| Next Due Date (Auto) | Date (Formula-based) | Automatically calculated based on maintenance interval from the Asset Register. |
Formulas Required
This template leverages advanced Excel formulas to ensure data integrity and automation:- Auto-incrementing Maintenance ID:
=TEXT(TODAY(),"YYYY")&"-"&TEXT(COUNTA(MaintenanceLog[Date Reported])+1,"0000")
(This creates unique IDs like MNT-2024-0013) - Auto-fill Asset Type:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP([@Asset ID],AssetRegister,2,FALSE),"Unknown")
- Next Due Date Calculation:
=IF([@Status]="Completed",[@[Date Performed]]+VLOOKUP([@Asset ID],AssetRegister,3,FALSE),""
(Where column 3 in Asset Register contains maintenance interval in days.) - Status Color Coding:
=IF([@Status]="Overdue", "Red", IF(AND([@Status]="Scheduled",[@[Date Performed]]=""), "Yellow","Green"))
(Used for conditional formatting rules.)
Conditional Formatting
Enhances visual tracking and alerting:- Overdue Tasks: If the current date is past the Next Due Date, cell background turns red.
- Scheduled but Not Started: Yellow highlight if Status = "Scheduled" and Date Performed is blank.
- Frequent Maintenance Issues: Rows where cost exceeds £500 are highlighted in orange for review.
- Status Column: Color-coded background based on status (red=Overdue, yellow=Scheduled, green=Completed).
